If you have no viruses but your computer is still slow. Then get this, this thing is called Ad-Aware and it takes all the spy-ware off your computer. Because all spyware is is that it like gives you ad's for no reason and makes your computer slow.

The link is:download.com (http://download.com.com/3001-2144-10214379.html)

when you get done downloading it. install it and all that other junk. Then get into it then click scan, then there should be a thing that says custimize, then click on general on the side, then there should be x's and checks. there should be 4 circles on the top with those. make them all x's but the last one which should say Safe Mode (request confermation) or sumthing like that.then exit that out then click scan again then click next. It should be scaning. after that click next then it should give you all the spyware that u have then right click one of the box's then click something that should say select all. click. then click next. restart your computer then do it all over again.

post how much spyware u got here

Wow, that's more information than I need.

I use adaware weekly and have no spyware to report.

But you'll be amazed at the hijacking that Norton and Adaware don't see with this nifty little program.
It is called cwShredder (http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/CWShredder.exe)


You should run it. It removes those stupid "FILESEARCH" pages and altered homepages that appear when a webpage doesn't exist. Also removes other junk, like search bars and tools, script etc...

Sounds like something I could use, Spin-

Tell us a bit more, if you could?

I clicked on it, and the DL came up immediately; I don't like to jump too quick-

I trust you, but I don't want to duplicate things I might already have? ;)

i ran the shredder prog and it said i was clean. i guess it helps when you pay attention to what is on your comp on a regular basis. seems like a good program though.

I took a flier on CWShredder, too.

I was clean, also, but it's a nifty little prog.

I keep nifty little progs. ;)

I did, and it seemed like the real deal, but I couldn't find a good updatable copy.

I was very impressed with it. ;)

If you didn't tried X-Cleaner Free you don't have a really clean pc,trust me, this litlle stand alone proggie ( no instalation nedeed) detect what Ad-aware , Spybot and others can't find.


XCleaner is a privacy tool suite that detects and removes installed spyware and adware components and includes tools to securely delete files, edit the registry, disable startup programs and more. Additional features include IE home page protection, cookie, cache and history cleaning, built-in password generator and more. This free version also contains some additional feature options, however they are disabled and require upgrade to a full version. The spyware and adware scanning as well as many cleaning features however can be used freely.
